Since 28 December 2024, the EU Common Charger Directive (CCD) has been in effect, aiming to reduce electronic waste by designating a single charger type for certain chargeable devices. This directive applies to business sellers only.
Business sellers who are offering certain electronic devices for sale in the EU and Northern Ireland markets for the first time must:
- Only offer electronic devices that have a USB-C port
- Offer the option to buy the electronic device without a charger, if it is being offered for sale with a charger
- Display a pictogram and label on their listings
Starting 28 April 2026 these requirements will also apply to laptops.
Check out our video to see an easy, step-by-step guide to getting your listings just right.
For more information and guidance on the Common Charger Directive, including details on products covered in the directive, please visit our Seller Centre page.
